PR 5 – 7 Backlinks

The higher the Page Rank (PR) of the page your backlinks are built on, the more powerful that link is for it’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) purpose. Google, and other search engines, operate in favour of backlinks originating from sources with higher PRs.

PRs are scaled from the lowest extreme of 0, to the highest extreme of 10. Although it should be analyzed and judged as such, reality is, there aren’t a lot of pages with PR 10. At least, the number of PR 10 pages, to my best knowledge, have not exceeded the count of 20 across the entire Internet.

Therefore, pages with PR 5 – 7 would be considerably high, although PR 5 seems to be just about average on the Google’s scales. To share with you my personal experiences, I build links only on websites with PR 6 and above. I would add in a mix of PR 5 backlinks from time to time, but I’ve seen tremendous successes with sites containing backlinks that are built on PR 6+ alone.

Personally, I avoid building links on sites with PR less than 5, because I believe that they are merely a waste of time.
